ok i will pm you.

the problem is that at a air con show room, its hard to know. also the softer one tends to be more comfortable for the short while that you are lying there.

thanks for your sharing. simple and direct and useful

After reading up, lying on mattress, looking at the huge varying prices, how can anyone really make up their mind on mattress choosing? Soft, Medium soft, hard, brands, latex, pocket spring, memory foam. DIfferent brand, different sales talk, different techonology or brand bashing....

Anyone went to sungei kadut or expo? Saw Inch Design and their nice sofa. Rather tempted. http://www.inch-design.com/ I like the main brownish sofa set at expo. around 1900 for the set. Any feedback?

Since met her in august and since then, visited her customer homes and based on her satisfied customer and my fren feedback, we committed ourselves to hand our reno to her. then the whole planning process took place, with designs, layout being discussed. also tiles selection, and also selecting sinks, toilet bowl etc. after the on-site visit and final changes to quotes, I just signed today and handed over the cheque today . Next wed start work. So far its quite interesting relationship as although we all want to have good discount, but knowing that she will deliver what she promise, you also feel that she should be justifiably remunerated. she has been also helping us to lower cost here and there too. and some freebies along the way, which you really appreciate

Notice A LOT Of new members register to post good comments on NW. Maybe like that they can hit target.

Of course it depends on who you are referring to. if its going to be someone that is picky and so immature to blame me for what the ID do, then i wun recommend of course. But to me, I use fren recommendation as an actual reference is better than nothing. At least got bargaining power.

I will pm you. It has been good so far as she is a lady and can attend to my wife's request easily cos she is more emphatic. I cannot imagine if its a male ID handling my wife demands. haha

yeah all those ppl that have used it for a year. any review?

perhaps you can get another ID that agrees with you? i think some are quite over priced.

how much is the sunflower?

i stop after around 6. after a while i think by now, if you got 9, all the ID will be same liao......and no one will stand out. take a break. otherwise the last one will be the one you decide.

Haha it will still be guess work because you really dunno what happens after the ink dries. Perhaps visiting more ID customer homes will help too. Speak to the customers.

Hi all Just to share with you guys my 'penthouse' in Tampines Just thought I would share my ID selection process, which is probably like everyone else. Come to renotalk, read all the thread, see nice pics or comments and then get the ID contact through pm and meet up with ID. Meet one not enough, meet more and more and more. Tire out cos talk so much and long each time. Realise all quotes the same. This item more ex, that item more ex. Basically cancel out. Also its all undiscounted pricing. I went through this and because I had time to spare, i give up and stop totally. 2 month later, I visit a friend new renovated home. They went through the same process and was so tired they just choose the last one which was the cheapest. Turn out very jialat, they had to keep reminding the ID to do the retifications etc. They told me they would rather just had paid the normal market price to have a peace of mind rather than doing the chasing all the time. Even had to draw out time schedule for the ID. Then one week later visit another friend house. Her experience totally different. Totally relaxed and happy and everytime they visited their place, it was a pleasant feeling or something more that was done. Any problems were surely rectified. ID go house to check daily to ensure all is ok. They totally trusted their ID as well because she was reliable. Handover on schedule as well. She only recommended to me after her reno was completed to ensure that whoever she recommended was truely recommendable. So after the months of meeting different ID etc, I just decided to go for my friend ID without much consideration or even quote comparison. Next week is my reno. The past few weeks experiences has been good, through design concept, the tiles selection, site visit. I guess no matter how many ID we meet, we will now know how good, reliable, meticulous an ID is unless its a direct referral from a friend. Because you cannot really find out all about this until after you sign on the dotted line. So its impt to have good friends that recommend you only good ID that they have experienced with. ps: its quite interesting to meet a few ID to get ideas and roughly understand the process and things to consider. but dun be addicted to it as you will burn out. Once reno start I will update with some pics hopefully.

ok great. My ID was highly recommended by a friend who just did her flat. She is quite picky and didnt really wanna recommend unless she was totally satisfied. I saw how she was so relaxed and enjoyed the whole reno process. Pricing wise was reasonable as well. Most impt is that the ID was responsible and reliable. Hence I threw aside all my previous ID and quotes and decided to let her handle our flat. I did pay her the deposit for drawing as I was certain i was going to let her do the reno. It will be waived off anyway. Not many ID would help you draw and color the perspective (equivalent to 3d drawing) if they are not sure if they are going to get your business at all. It would be like designing and working for free. Hence its a committment from both side. If got ID draw for free, i also want. get more design ideas. We are going to start the reno next week. Drawing perspective wise, I think we got around 6-8 pieces already.

I think i was deserved to be worked up, especially looking at the rude remarks you put into in your previous post. Also you got your facts wrong. if you are sincere in your apology i will graciously accept it.

if this makes your day i hope you have a good day. good luck on those firms that you are considering. there are reasons why i didnt chose them cos i did my homework earlier than you

ok good then my ID has more time for me

i think its probably the individual ID specific rather than company. mine wasnt like what you encountered.

yes in the process now of designing if you want her contact let me know......hope your reno not so soon hahaha so dun clash with mine.

my fren flat just completed and she recommended me to them. she is very happy with the ID for her committment and reliability
